Default Who\'s crushing the rock gardens?

I'm looking for someone who is beating the Ex-skins 18/8 type tables to review a couple of sessions for me. For about 50k hands, I was very close to 3BB/100 playing mostly .5/1. Lately, I have been really struggling with the Rock Gardens full of TAGs. It seems that I am having a hard time with the adjusments that need to be made to deal with the ever popular 18/8 tables. So I'm looking for someone who is having success to review a few sessions and point me in the right direction. Anyone who is interested, just PM me.

It's similar at Absolute. I had some fun learning to beat weak-tighties for a meager win rate while clearing bonuses, but even the 6-max tables are getting TAGgy now. I've got bonuses I can work on at several other sites with MUCH looser players, so I'm not going back for the foreseeable future.

Just walk away.

100% correct. You are damaging your bankroll growth by continuing to play. One of the most important things any poster here will tell you is that table selection is extremely important.

Not as important at .5/1 as at 5/10.

I don't see why. Are you saying this because of a larger playerbase at 0.5/1 than 5/10?

But of what import is bankroll growth at micro limits? Any decent McJob will replenish a micro bankroll in a week.

I bring this up to ask, is there anything to learn (cheaply) at the rock gardens? Is it better to learn now, when it's cheap, or to wait til I get to 10-20 to learn it? I would think that if you can beat rocks now, you'll move up faster in the future.

I think what you have to consider is that the rake is staggering at these limits (like 3BB/100). How can you possibly make that much up against opponents that don't make huge mistakes? Throw in a few good TAGs into the mix and it becomes almost impossible IMO.

because the good players at 5/10 are much better than the good players at .5/1
